Which charger is best to use for 24 v batteries

Hi, my mother has bought a new mobility scooter. It has 2 x 12v 12ah batteries so is 24v. But the charger that came with it is a 29v 2a charger.

She has a very good Pihsiang 24 Volt 3.0 Amp XLR MB-24/3 Battery Charger which came with her previous scooter. The inputs are the same, and I would prefer to use the Pihsiang because it looks much better quality and has kept her previous batteries in very good order.

Any opinions or knowledge which wou;d be the best for her to use. Should she use the 29v that came with it, or the Pihsiang to keep the batteries in the best condition?

Here are some pics and links:

You need to stick with a 24v 2 Amp charger if that is what the manufacturer rating says. If you go with a 3.5 amp output charger you risk damaging the unit.
